Robin's Hood
* Starring Khatee V. Turner * Wolfe
Robin's Hood spins the once-upon-a-time Robin Hood legend into a lezzy-in-the-hood morality tale. Written, directed, produced, and edited by first-time filmmaker Sara Millman, the movie Lakes place in Oakland, Calif., where social worker Robin (Khatee V. Turner, who also cowrote the film) quits her job after getting fed up with the bureaucratic racism that foils her ability to help impoverished clients. That changes when she hooks up with a hot French thief named Brooklyn (Clody Cates), who admires Robin's social responsibility and teaches her the ways of crime.
Like any number of cinematic criminal lovers before them, the duo begins to steal from the rich and anonymously donate to the poor.
This low-budget indie, shot on digital video, has a documentary feel, particularly in its portrayal of the ills that plague urban neighborhoods. Despite the crimes Robin and Brooklyn commit, this is a love story that has you rooting for them to live happily ever after.
